Nothing to do with the shitey signings, piss poor tactics, and lack of any inspiration from the management team then? It was never going to be warburton for 55 with the way it was back then but even so, I still find him extremely irritating as a person. I can cut pedro some slack for just being an out of depth dumbarse in the wrong place at the wrong time, but warburton gets on my fucking wick on a different level, and coming out with utter shite like this definitely doesnt help. Blue boys are fuckibg back indeed. JUST FUCK OFF MARK!!! Tbf, the magic hat song came from the supporters, and ver near everyone jumped on that bandwagon. The 55 thing prob came from their, the supporters. Prob was too big for him, and the day we went to the tattie bowl 4-3-3 confirmed it. walter with far better players and experience would never have tried that. I’m amazed he tried that, and even more so in DW letting him. i always thought Barton would never have had a meltdown for no reason. I’m positive Barton was right at the time, maybe went about it the wrong way. dont wish Warburton any harm, as he gave Us football we should have been playing all those years in those lower divisions. Rodgers probably couldn’t believe his luck that day when we rocked up set up for a thrashing. That heavy defeat set us on a chain of a few defeats like that. shandy, CoopsLaud and RowX 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrendous character. Much more suited to noncing about a plush London office in his red braces pretending he's billy big baws A complete waste of 2 years but thank fuck we've got Gerrard now. theclothmonster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct of course, it was a bandwagon of some monentum and was all ultimately too big a task for him in the end, as with pedro.

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Warburton is obviously a good coach, but probably never going to be a good manager.

Popular Post Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted February 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2019 To be fair to him but we played some good football, won the Championship and got to a major cup final. Something Ally couldn't do. His budget was nothing like Gerrards or Pedros and first season back was always going to be a tall order. The guy was a perfect gent when he was here, I remember him going to a fans funeral for example. Imo its a bit crass to keep sticking the boot in. He was a dignified guy doing a tough job with wholly unrealistic expectations from board/fans. It didn't work out, let's leave it at that.

Del 667 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 That's the thing I dont get, even with the tims and other fans...Rangers will always be going for 55, until we are going for 56, 57,58 etc. We know that we might not win the league every year, especially in recent seasons with the squad we have had, but the aim should always be winning the title! You can just imagine the team after losing to Accies...dont worry guys they are a premier league team, we will look at it, learn from it and go again. FRAUD!

IIRC that was his original job at Brentford and he only took over because Uwe Rosler jumped ship to manage Leeds in the middle of the season.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,543 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Warburton peaked with the result against celtic in the cup. At a diddy club if you get a result like that then you can generally coast off of it like it’s an actual achievement for years and I think Warburton (and a lot of his players) thought that result meant they had made it. He never recovered from it and it was a downwards spiral from that point on which he never knew how to pull us out of because he didn’t had the mentality for the demands and expectations at a big club.

Ibroxholm 2,291 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Considering where we were at the 1st June 2015, Warburton done a pretty good job the following season to win the Championship and get us to the cup final with limited resources. We played some pretty good football along the way as well. I don’t think he is incorrect to infer that, at the start of 2016/17 season, we probably had unrealistic expectations in thinking that we could win the league first season back. However, the thing that has pushed Rangers on to be successful over the years is the high expectation of the fans and the unwillingness to accept second best. Ultimately, the job was too big for him and he was to set in his ‘coaching school’ methods to figure out that he had to be flexible in reacting to the limitations of our squad. His biggest crime imo was not getting the defence sorted out leading to us continually losing cheap goals. However, more illustrious managers (LeGuen and latterly Advocaat) had a similar affliction which eventually led to their downfalls. He showed real naivety in the team set up in the 5-1 loss to them (Advocaat showed a similar naivety in his first game against them). Getting beat by them is hard to take but it is a long way back for a manager afte such a heavy defeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,030 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The job would be too big for anyone given the budget he had, and while his tactics etc were questionable in the spfl, we should remember that one of our most valuable players right now was a Warburton signing Infact in the last OF game 2 of our winning team were Warburton signings, 3 were pedros and one was a young boy given his chance by pedro So as much as gerrard has done a lot of good, he owes a lot to the previous two gaffers who get dugs abuse on here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he hasnt, grezda, lafferty, flanagan, hell even barisic was and is getting abuse, and depending on how long you think we were in discussions with him we could say shagger and arfield were coming anyone and thats a mark allen positive Fact is gerrards best 11 contains 6, possibly 8 players that he didnt sign, given weve spent a small fortune on both fees and wages thats a poor look on his signings Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
